One of the beliefs that I hold as part of my long-term intellectual interests
is that intelligence, indeed all aspects of thought, cognition, and all
control of behavior, from low-level to high-level, is algorithmic, and can
thus be modeled and exhibited by computers. I think that the study of
intelligence and related issues, and in particular the study of learning, is
the most exciting scientific endeavor of our time, and the practical
deployment of the related technologies holds the potential to change the
world in some of the most profound ways of any technology today.
